We prove that the global minimum of the backpropagation (BP) training problem of neural networks with an arbitrary nonlinear activation is given by the ridgelet transform. A series of computational experiments show that there exists an interesting similarity between the scatter plot of hidden parameters in a shallow neural network after the BP training and the spectrum of the ridgelet transform. By introducing a continuous model of neural networks, we reduce the training problem to a convex optimization in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space, and obtain the explicit expression of the global optimizer via the ridgelet transform.

We consider the variation space corresponding to a dictionary of functions in $L^2(Omega)$ and present the basic theory of approximation in these spaces. Specifically, we compare the definition based on integral representations with the definition in terms of convex hulls. We show that in many cases, including the dictionaries corresponding to shallow ReLU$^k$ networks and a dictionary of decaying Fourier modes, that the two definitions coincide. We also give a partial characterization of the variation space for shallow ReLU$^k$ networks and show that the variation space with respect to the dictionary of decaying Fourier modes corresponds to the Barron spectral space.
We consider the approximation rates of shallow neural networks with respect to the variation norm. Upper bounds on these rates have been established for sigmoidal and ReLU activation functions, but it has remained an important open problem whether th ese rates are sharp. In this article, we provide a solution to this problem by proving sharp lower bounds on the approximation rates for shallow neural networks, which are obtained by lower bounding the $L^2$-metric entropy of the convex hull of the neural network basis functions. In addition, our methods also give sharp lower bounds on the Kolmogorov $n$-widths of this convex hull, which show that the variation spaces corresponding to shallow neural networks cannot be efficiently approximated by linear methods. These lower bounds apply to both sigmoidal activation functions with bounded variation and to activation functions which are a power of the ReLU. Our results also quantify how much stronger the Barron spectral norm is than the variation norm and, combined with previous results, give the asymptotics of the $L^infty$-metric entropy up to logarithmic factors in the case of the ReLU activation function.
We consider the teacher-student setting of learning shallow neural networks with quadratic activations and planted weight matrix $W^*inmathbb{R}^{mtimes d}$, where $m$ is the width of the hidden layer and $dle m$ is the data dimension. We study the o ptimization landscape associated with the empirical and the population squared risk of the problem. Under the assumption the planted weights are full-rank we obtain the following results. First, we establish that the landscape of the empirical risk admits an energy barrier separating rank-deficient $W$ from $W^*$: if $W$ is rank deficient, then its risk is bounded away from zero by an amount we quantify. We then couple this result by showing that, assuming number $N$ of samples grows at least like a polynomial function of $d$, all full-rank approximate stationary points of the empirical risk are nearly global optimum. These two results allow us to prove that gradient descent, when initialized below the energy barrier, approximately minimizes the empirical risk and recovers the planted weights in polynomial-time. Next, we show that initializing below this barrier is in fact easily achieved when the weights are randomly generated under relatively weak assumptions. We show that provided the network is sufficiently overparametrized, initializing with an appropriate multiple of the identity suffices to obtain a risk below the energy barrier. At a technical level, the last result is a consequence of the semicircle law for the Wishart ensemble and could be of independent interest. Finally, we study the minimizers of the empirical risk and identify a simple necessary and sufficient geometric condition on the training data under which any minimizer has necessarily zero generalization error. We show that as soon as $Nge N^*=d(d+1)/2$, randomly generated data enjoys this geometric condition almost surely, while that ceases to be true if $N<N^*$.
We revisit the spherical Radon transform, also called the Funk-Radon transform, viewing it as an axisymmetric convolution on the sphere. Viewing the spherical Radon transform in this manner leads to a straightforward derivation of its spherical harmo nic representation, from which we show the spherical Radon transform can be inverted exactly for signals exhibiting antipodal symmetry. We then construct a spherical ridgelet transform by composing the spherical Radon and scale-discretised wavelet transforms on the sphere. The resulting spherical ridgelet transform also admits exact inversion for antipodal signals. The restriction to antipodal signals is expected since the spherical Radon and ridgelet transforms themselves result in signals that exhibit antipodal symmetry. Our ridgelet transform is defined natively on the sphere, probes signal content globally along great circles, does not exhibit blocking artefacts, supports spin signals and exhibits an exact and explicit inverse transform. No alternative ridgelet construction on the sphere satisfies all of these properties. Our implementation of the spherical Radon and ridgelet transforms is made publicly available. Finally, we illustrate the effectiveness of spherical ridgelets for diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of white matter fibers in the brain.
Reward-Weighted Regression (RWR) belongs to a family of widely known iterative Reinforcement Learning algorithms based on the Expectation-Maximization framework. In this family, learning at each iteration consists of sampling a batch of trajectories using the current policy and fitting a new policy to maximize a return-weighted log-likelihood of actions. Although RWR is known to yield monotonic improvement of the policy under certain circumstances, whether and under which conditions RWR converges to the optimal policy have remained open questions. In this paper, we provide for the first time a proof that RWR converges to a global optimum when no function approximation is used.
